Teachers' guide to coursework

Sue
Kirkham recently chaired the QCA Coursework Taskforce. The
establishment of a taskforce was one of the core recommendations in the
QCA report A Review of GCE and GCSE Coursework Arrangements
published last November. The main aim of the taskforce was to provide
teachers with further guidance and advice on authenticating coursework.
The taskforce has produced a leaflet Authenticating Coursework: A teacher's guide.
It is an excellent resource for teachers and it is hoped that teachers
will refer to the leaflet when marking their coursework this year. The
leaflet can be ordered free of charge by calling the QCA on 08700 60
6015 or emailing orderline@qca.org.uk
